Ep 7 – The Ghost of Inaction: How Unlived Potential Haunts You
Manage episode 516231785 series 3689806
Every ghost story begins the same way: something that should have moved on but didn’t.
All of your unfinished ideas, promises to yourself, and dreams of the future that you keep avoiding.
In this episode, we explore how unlived potential is like being haunted. Drawing from the Ziegarnik Effect and the yogic idea of samskara, we discuss how incomplete actions loop in the mind until they are either lived out or released.
With insights from Greg McKeown, James Clear, Stephen Pressfield, Viktor Frankl, and the Stoics, this reflection reminds us that action is the antidote to anxiety and that motion frees the spirit from its ghosts.
Your invitation: Name that ghost. Write down the project, the dream, or the responsibility that keeps revisiting you. Then take one small step toward it, even if that step is only a decision.
“Do not ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and go do it.” – Howard Thurman
The parts of you that remain unlived are not dead. They are unexpressed potential waiting for you to seize them.
